Ignore the professional movie reviewers. This is an action movie, with underlying character stories. Mike Banning, the person, comes alive as a husband, father, son and public servant. The cast is great. An action movie with a few well placed funny lines. It is worth your time and your money.

After the sorry spectacle and blatant xenophobia of London Has Fallen, it’s almost a relief that Angel is merely a competent, second-rate action vehicle. This trilogy’s ambitions have never been particularly high, but at least this third chapter’s fleeting junk-food pleasures aren’t undermined by base pandering.

No one has ever accused a Gerard Butler action movie of being too smart, but “Angel Has Fallen” operates on such a level of half-considered logic and improbable motivations that even moderately well-mounted action can’t distract audiences from how dumb it is.
